Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel (Triumphal Arch)
Located in Paris, near the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel offers a glimpse into the history of French wars and victories. It was built between 1806 and 1808 under Napoleon I and commemorates the triumphs of his army. The impressive architecture combines elements of ancient Greece and Roman architecture. A notable feature is the square shape, which fits perfectly into the surroundings.
Particularly interesting is the central statue on the upper floor, which depicts a chariot drawn by four horses, known as the Victoria Chariot. When you visit the Arc, you can not only admire the artistic reliefs and sculptures, but also enjoy the unique views of the surrounding area, especially the Louvre and the Tuileries. The location invites you to stroll through the picturesque gardens of the Tuileries afterwards. A visit is an ideal way to learn more about French history and experience impressive works of art right next door.
